Decoupling a trailer

If you uncouple a trailer with the overrun
brake engaged, you could trap your hand
between the vehicle and the trailer drawbar.

There is a risk of injury.

Do not uncouple a trailer if the overrun brake
is engaged.

WARNING

Vehicles with level control:
The vehicle is lowered as soon as you
disconnect the trailer cable. This could result
in your limbs or those of other people that are
between the vehicle body and tires or
underneath the vehicle being trapped. There
is a risk of injury.

Make sure that nobody is in the immediate
vicinity of the wheel housings or under the
vehicle when you disconnect the trailer cable.

Do not disconnect a trailer with an
engaged overrun brake. Otherwise, your
vehicle could be damaged by the
rebounding of the overrun brake.

■ Make sure that the automatic transmission
is set to position P.

■ Apply the vehicle's electric parking brake.

■ Start the engine.

■ Close all doors and the tailgate.

■ Apply the trailer's parking brake.

■ Detach the trailer cable and decouple the
trailer.

■ Switch off the engine.
